One of my best accommodations in Sri Lanka. If you want to have a real homestay experience, I highly recommend Holly House Homestay. Renuka and Deveka are such a lovely couple - they are very kind and caring. I only spent 2 nights with them, but they gave me good tips to go around the area during my short stay. Their little boy Imeth is adorable and smart! He’s learning English in pre-school, so you can talk to him in English.

Unfortunately my friend and I were not able to really enjoy the comforts of this place because we were so busy running around Ella. However, the homestay owners were the friendliest, the view was breathtaking, and I loved how quiet it was. The shower had hot water, the place was so clean (and so is the town!), and the beds with the mosquito net made me feel like a princess. Be mindful of animals.
